"Momma Don't Allow" is a British short film that runs for approximately 20 minutes and was made back in 1955, 10 years after the end of World War II, so this one is already over 60 years old. The directors Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson have had amazing careers, but this black-and-white short film here is probably among their least memorable works. We hear music from start ti finish and see people dancing to the wild jazz tunes. The whole thing is obviously recorded in a club and this is what they looked like back then. While I thought the music is a good listen for jazz fans, I cannot recommend this film anyway. The video site is just entirely forgettable. We see people dancing and that's it. Ultimately, there is no real reason to watch this instead of listening to an old record. I can only laugh when I read other reviewers call this the best (short) film ever made. Thumbs down from me and I don't recommend it.
